FlashEX is an online "flash exhibition" solution for trade show organizers to easily create virtual/hybrid events with a rich audience experience. FlashEX offers comprehensive features for exhibitors, attendees, and show organizers, and powerful configurability to fit the organizer's brand, audience, and business needs. Hosted in the cloud, a FlashEX-powered event site can be ready for pre-event marketing and onboarding in days. After the event is over, the site can be re-activated for future events, or easily transitioned to a digital marketplace platform to drive year-round audience engagement and revenue growth.
